G                                  C
Sweet hour of prayer sweet hour of prayer
     G                        D7
That calls me from a world of care
         G                 C
And bids me at my Father's throne
     G                D7     G
Make all my wants and wishes known

Verse 2

   C                       G
In seasons of distress and grief
   C              G     D7
My soul has often found relief
        G                     C
And oft escaped the tempter's snare
   G                     D7 G
By thy return sweet hour of prayer

Verse 3

                                   C
Sweet hour of prayer sweet hour of prayer
    G                       D7
Thy wings shall my petition bear
   G                   C
To him whose truth and faithfulness
G                       D7 G
Engage the waiting soul to bless

Verse 4

    C                         G
And since he bids me seek his face
C                    G         D7
Believe his word and trust his grace
     G                    C
I'll cast on him my every care
    G                        D7 G
And wait for thee sweet hour of prayer
